Renaissance Theaterworks presents the Wisconsin Premiere of CARDBOARD PIANO, a play by Hansol Jung that tells the poignant story of two teenage girls who secretly marry in a chapel in war-torn Uganda on New Year's Eve 1999, only to have their celebration interrupted by violence. Directed by Elyse Edelman, this production explores themes of faith, forgiveness, and the profound impact of loving bravely. The cast includes Rebecca Kent, Tyler Cruz, and Dimonte Henning, among others, and the show runs from January 11 to February 1, with previews on January 9 and 10.
